It’s almost time to start thinking about trench coat weather, again. The Banana Republic coat is on sale (25% off), and despite my growing dislike for BR products, I own this coat, and it’s held up well.

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.
Every now and again, I spot a piece on sale and I have to have it. I need it. I cannot live without it. Recently, I spotted a jersey tee at Boden that takes a casual top to the next level, and I just needed to share.
Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
Love the classic trench. I have a Zara trench coat – similar to this one – and get rave reviews on it all the time.
I have the BR trench in black, and really like it aside from the seemingly random flap of fabric over the top button on one side. Kind of odd.
Belle- curious to know why you dislike BR products. They're not the most original (one should go elsewhere for a $200 cocktail dress or $100 jewelry, for example), but they do have sturdy, tailorable (!) basics. Just asking as a budget-savvy girl who loves massive seasonal sales at these types of stores.
Valerie-I've had three blouses in a row that fell apart after one wear. BR has really lost something in the quality dept. over the past 18 months.
Any tips on how to keep my belt from falling out when I wear it open?
I had my tailor stitch my belt to the belt loops. He charged me $2.
